Amidst their government shutdown and threats to destroy the American economy by refusing to raise the debt ceiling, the republicans are having a circle jerk (also known as the Values Voters Summit) this week where they are being exhorted by Ted Cruz for their believing in free market values, the Constitution, and freedom. Apparently their disaster capitalism which has destroyed the poor and middle class is just hunky dory with people who have their "values."
Meanwhile in Bangladesh this week, another garment factory fire took the lives of ten people who make clothing for the likes of Wal-Mart and The Gap. This follows the fire last spring that killed over 1100 people.
It's important to remember that for all its faults, the Democratic Party is the only thing today standing between working class Americans and living with jobs where everyday we stand a chance of being burned to death to save corporate America a few pennies.
Because as far as the republican party is concerned, it would be your own damn fault for needing a job to feed yourself and your family in the first place.
Peace,
